what is the angle of the blade? 15&deg; 16&deg; 20&deg; or 22&deg;?

Oh man...I'm not really sure. I'll probably say...somewhere between 15-17? The blade for my OXO santoku is thinner/sharper than my OXO chef's knife. Don't think I really helped but, best of luck.

There are five angle settings indicated by colors. The five angle degrees are: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. I believe there are angle gauges for these types of knife sharpener. That may help you in getting the 16.

it depends on the size of the current blade the most common are 45mm and 60 mm take it with you to the store ( fabric or craft) and compare

It really depends on placement of knife and blade width. Using a magic marker on the bevel edge you can adjust it to achieve needed angle. The knives I just recently did for my mom required matching 15 degree bevel and with very little adjust had no issues achieving this. Syderco and a few other knives useing thinner blades due to type metal also require about 15 degrees snd currently have had no issues with sharpening them.

Technically speaking, it will give you a 34/40/50/60° edge on a double-bevel blade (measured as the complete angle of both bevels), or a 17/20/25/30° edge on a single-bevel blade (or as measured from the medial plane [bisection] of the angle of a double-bevel blade). I really hope this makes sense - if I could only draw you a diagram here.

Not sure if you ever went to ask OXO yourself but since I wanted to get my knife sharpened, I did ask OXO what angle they sharpened their santoku at and they replied with 16° =)

65 sounds about right. Its a great saw. Would thoroughly recommend it. It is big though

Yes, correct! If you want to make a 90° turn, cut 2@ 45°, etc. For a 45° turn, 2@ 22.5°.

on this website: http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/nobex-proman-miter-saw.aspx, it lists the preset angles as 0, 15, 22-1/2, 30, 36 & 45 degrees. does that sound right?

I have two blades like this and both measured the same as I expected. 1/64 inch, or 0.43mm, or 0.0170 inch. Hope this helps. Milt

The blade length is 74.35mm or 2.923" . It is slightly different depending on which side you measure from since the scales are slightly different in length by a few thousandths. If you only want to work to even fractions, it is about 2- 15/16ths. Best made knife I own. Really sharp, very pointed, light weight and very strong. The blade comes open lightning fast.

Hey Tom,I really couldn't give you an exact angle but looking at mine I would say the angle is likely around 65-70 degree's, there is almost a half inch gap in your blade run so I have found it will sharpen most of all my knives and hatchets.I hope this helped.Curt

There is a different slot for each angle. You manually insert in proper slot. Have not tried to change angle from 20 to 15 degrees but manual says it can be done

20-22 degrees usually. It's a good question because although I'm happy with my 8" Chef's knife in this price range, I find that it, just like the 6" Kershaw I own tends to be slightly sharper on one side than the other no matter what I do. These are nice for the money though and I have no complaints personally. They can be made really sharp if you want to spend the time with a wet stone and a leather strop. I generally use a steel when I'm done using mine. (Three swipes at the most to true the edge) and I try to maintain an approximate 20 degree angle when I do it. I place the steel vertical making it easier to view the angle as well as avoiding the chance of cutting your hands. It's not the fancy way we may see the butcher guys do it but works well and is a safer method. Some say to sharpen at a 15 degree angle, and although that may hold an edge longer I think that +/- 20 works the best for these. Others think that these are a bit heavy handled, but I like the bolster and the additional weight with a good sharp edge because little pressure is required to use them. But some of these things are purely personal preferences, so I hope this info. will be of some help here.

yes, one of mine is 20.5 & other one is 23. Don't remember how my husband did it if hack saw or what but can be done.

There is a slight curve to the cutting edge. Approximately 3/16th, definitely under 1/4 inch.

14 inches from tip of blade to the tip of blade on other side. 100 to 150 ft
